One Defeat in Nine isn’t Bad

The Addicks suffered their first defeat in nine Championship matches at the weekend against Wolves. Defeat is bad at anytime, but this is by no means the worst thing that could have happened.

Some would blame the international break, but this is not really an excuse for me, in fact I don’t feel that there should be any. We had chances to have earned at least a point, but going to Molineux to face Wolves is never an easy task. They will be there or thereabouts when the season ends, so a point would have been preferable against a promotion rival defeat is not as bad as it could have been, even more so when you take into account some of the other results at the weekend. Watford winning meant they extended their lead, but as pointed out within the forum by someone they have stern challenges to come.

Had the Addicks lost at the Valley that would have been different, defeats on the road (as much as we don’t want to see these) should they come to teams like Wolves this will not be so bad, but we can’t afford too many. We now return to the Valley with our next two games, and both are winnable against Plymouth and QPR. My minimum aim will be four points, but many others within the forum (get involved with the debate on this peps!) are targeting six out of six.
